I'm experiencing flickering and artifacting in Doom: The Dark Ages, regardless of the graphics settings I choose. I recently upgraded my GPU to an RX 9070 and I'm running a Ryzen 5 7600x with 32GB of RAM on a 650W power supply. I've updated to the latest drivers and I'm considering reinstalling Windows to see if that resolves the issue. The flickering happens on my gun and on distant objects, and it persists even when I use my Dad's 1440p monitor instead of my 1080p one. Also, the screen looks a bit blurry compared to gameplay videos on YouTube. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this? I didn't have this issue with Doom Eternal.

Have you tried recording your gameplay? Using Windows + G can really help get a clearer picture of the problem. Sometimes, just looking at the videos can give you insights that you might miss while playing.
Just drop the link here once it's up—I’d love to see what the issue looks like!
It might be worth checking your display settings or even your HDMI/DisplayPort cables. Sometimes a faulty cable can cause issues like flickering or artifacting. Also, make sure V-Sync is enabled in the game settings; that might help smooth things out.
I actually did just record it! I'm working on uploading the footage with some edits for context.
